R(IoT): A rundown on the Internet of Things on Nov 26, 2014

In a recent report published by Freelancer.com, it was discovered that there is a rise in data and engineering jobs as the Internet of Things (IoT) takes off.

“Things”, in IoT, refers to different internet-enabled devices, such as biochip transponders for pets and farm animals, pacemaker monitoring implants, self-driving automobiles, field operation devices similar to drones used for fire-fighting, or unmanned aircraft for surveying wildlife reserves. Current examples include smart home appliances such as ovens, refrigerators, and thermostats that respond to smartphone commands. The need for these devices has caused a growth in newer, better ideas for connecting more home and office devices to smartphones.

As many employers drum up IoT innovations, the demand for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math-related skills and specialties has reached new heights. Due to this development, the industry now faces a shortage of experts across the developed world and has started calling upon freelancers to cover the bases.

Inline with this, Talino Talks presents R(IoT): A Rundown on the Internet of Things — a talk on everything there is to know about the Internet of Things.

With our speakers, Nikko Torcita of Awesomelabs, Ely Apao & Michael Albano of Jumpsparc, and Josh de la Llana of Tactiles, below are just some of the topics they will be discussing:

Evolution of the Internet

Existing IoT applications

How can I start working on IoT from hobbyist to web developer

User and Maker experiences

Trends in hardware

Live Demonstrations

Join us on November 26 (Wednesday) and see how you can be part of this growing industry.
